Members Darn Posted May 6, 2020 Members Share Posted May 6, 2020 Thank you. He's not Barbara Walters, he's a moderator just trying to get these actors to reminisce not trash producers or writers. If they happen to while talking about the past that's on them but I don't expect him to pull it out of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted May 6, 2020 Members Share Posted May 6, 2020 Carmen vs Vanessa was promising..but didn't amount to much. Carmen was the coyote and Michelle was the road runner....and it was rinse, lather, and repeat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitch Posted May 7, 2020 Members Share Posted May 7, 2020 They always should have made the remaining Santos mob adjacent. Have Daddy Santos be a small time hood enforcer for a mob. Carmen's secret backstory is that she was forced into prostitution and married Santos to get out. The first Santos that was killed was their son but Danny is really the son of Gus's dad a cop, that Daddy Santos then killed, and then attacking Carmen she kills him. After that..she tries to be legitimate but her shady ways get in the way. This gives Carmen some rootability and extends Gus out of just Harley and keeps him from the brain dead "Hes Alans' son!" I really like SS but man, the ridiculous mob boss in a pastel suit Cruella Deville worked against her and the show every time, and sweet PAS never worked as a mobster in training. The Winslows just sucked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members antmunoz Posted May 7, 2020 Members Share Posted May 7, 2020 Gus was supposed to be the son of Selena and Miguel, Sr. The storyline was stupidly changed. Patti D’Arbanville was fired. Miguel, Jr. was alive and...elsewhere. Selena had always known his whereabouts. (This child was never mentioned during Selena’s search for the other child she gave up, Drew.) Gus vs. Danny. Half-brothers. Perfect and soapy. Instead, we get Alan and a nun. Ugh. Gus did NOT need to be a Spaulding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RavenWhitney Posted May 7, 2020 Members Share Posted May 7, 2020 The actress who played Carmen was overrated; she couldn't cut it with the pros on the show. I hated the Santos family. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mona Kane Croft Posted May 7, 2020 Members Share Posted May 7, 2020 He's really doing a great job. I'm so glad he's been doing this. He knows what he's talking about and he respects the genre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted May 7, 2020 Members Share Posted May 7, 2020 *sighs* Well I for one was happy. I just makes me so sad b/c I wish GL was on air my Michelle and Danny (with Joie in the role) were back onscreen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanessaReardon Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 He respects the clicks. He’s a lousy interviewer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 7, 2020 Members Share Posted May 7, 2020 All things considered, I think they would've been better off just sending Danny and Michelle into the Federal Witness Relocation Program. Then, down the road, if they wanted to bring back Michelle (with a recast), they could explain how the mob found and killed Danny, thus giving nuMichelle a reason to come out of hiding and come back to Springfield (namely, to avenge her husband's death). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 7, 2020 Author Members Share Posted May 7, 2020 Going back to another era December 1970 Stanley Norris (William Smithers) and Leslie Jackson Bauer (Lynne Adams) What was the reason Leslie married Stanley? I wonder if Smithers was considered a bit of a 'get' at the time -an established primetime actor. How long was he on before being murdered? Maybe it was a fairly short term role which is why Smithers agreed to daytime? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Smithers was on for a year. As stated in his Who's Who bio on Soap Opera Central. com. Awesome pic would love to see this era of GL. Stanley was a nasty piece of work. Here's his bio. Which is a very interesting read. https://www.soapcentral.com/gl/whoswho/stanley.php 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 7, 2020 Author Members Share Posted May 7, 2020 That bio was quite detailed. I have read that some details of Soap Centrals GL summaries have been questioned as to whether they actually occurred as there is little info of that time period to go by. In this instance I wonder whether CBS and P&G would allow an interacial affair (Stanley and Deborah)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members antmunoz Posted May 7, 2020 Members Share Posted May 7, 2020 Deborah Mehren AND her mother, Leona Herbert? This isn’t referenced in ANY soap history books. Me thinks someone had a very fun time writing this fanfic. SoapCentral is, quite simply, often wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) I had no idea that Deborah was a AA woman. Very envelope pushing for that time. Since P&G was know for being very conservative. Makes wonder if this ever took place. Here's a pic of the late Olivia Cole as Deborah Mehern. Please register in order to view this content I found some info on the character. Olivia Cole portrayed Deborah Mehran, Janet Mason Norris’ best friend and secretary to Dr. Sarah McIntyre, Edited May 7, 2020 by victoria foxton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
